That cover is a bit bland and empty for my taste. I think the JP covers would work in the US as well. The games are niche anyway, both are anime as hell but this one jumps out at you way more

I imagine that they'll do a Vita version eventually, nothing about this game screams console exclusive.

I hope there's a Limited Edition version. If there's not and they confirm that, I'll bite on Best Buy + GCU.

Eh. I like the JP cover more but whatever.

Is it good?
I preferred the US cover over the European / Japanese covers when it came to Disgaea 4 as it was generally less cluttered and, stylistically speaking, pleasant to look at.
I don't mind that D5 is following up on that more "digestible" style but it's really bland in comparison.
Cover
It's subtle, but I guess this is another example of the blue-and-orange colour scheme that's become so popular.
It's all right, but I prefer the Japanese one.

Not sure if this is old news or not but I noticed Gamefly has the date set for 10/06 (Tuesday) -> http://www.gamefly.com/#!/game/Disgaea-5-Alliance-of-Vengeance/5009234
Also is 10/06 on Amazon -> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RUZPKYY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Lock if old news
Dunno if the date was updated, but on Amazon it says 11/30. Cyber Monday. If true, would be interesting if I could get it elsewhere on a deal.

Focus on the ass cover, cool.
Wouldn't mind if they use the Japanese cover as the LE. I think they usually have it as the manual at least. A reversible cover will be cool too.

There seems to be issues with the way they do graphics. D3P and D4P (PS3 ports) both have some pretty severe chugging issues when a lot of characters are on screen (like home/campaign rooms in post game). Not sure that they'd be able to port a ps4 game to Vita without it crashing in those situations. It really shouldn't be technologically infeasible though, a lot more demanding games can run on the Vita but they've showed no inclination to fix whatever it is.

I love the Disgaea games. But ever since Disgaea 1 on the PSP, I've always preferred playing them (and honestly RPGS in general) on a portable since they can be massive time sinks. This has become even more true now that I'm out of college and working full-time.
Seeing as the Vita might not be able to handle a PS4 port without drops in quality, it looks like I'm going to have to try and train myself to play Disgaea 5 on the console.

The blue of the ps4 part makes him look even more blue than needed
Didnt know people used physical guides for disgaea, really only thing I found one needs these days is just a list of what all the specialists/innocents do.

Sorry but I am pre-ordering. I know some hate that but this is just one of those series I have to have.

Nah, I think I'll just be streaming this to my Vita most of the time.

I like this cover. The Japanese covers are nice and do capture the essence of Disgaea, but this looks good too.

Favorite character in 5 Usaria. Falls right behind Fuka from Disgaea 4

Apart from Disgaea D2, there's basically only oblique references and post game cameos (though the Disgaea cast appear in the main storyline of Disgaea 2 it doesn't rely on any Disgaea knowledge) .
There is a timeline but because of remakes and additional content it gets really fuzzy at times.
There is a good chance that there will be no vita version for 5. It is inevitable that there will be a crazy amount of DLC.

Its already been "stated" that the game is unable to be put on the Vita. Now if that is true or not only time will tell...
If NIS is to be believed, they cannot get D5 to run on Vita.
I'm inclined to believe them, since D4 had framerate issues on Vita, even with a fraction of the characters you can put on screen in D5.

I also try really hard not to pre-order things anymore but there are a few select series that have earned my total trust and have never once let me down by feeling at all ripped off from a game. Disgaea is one of them. NIS could also use the money and they rank very low on the "corporate gaming overlords" scale.
I know there will be. I just wish they would just include it.
I find this a bit hard to really believe mainly due to 2D sprites and simplified 3D elements when there's far more demanding games on the vita out there.
Maybe the 30% memory boost will help if that was the problem?
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
30% boost is not going to help. It might help to smooth some things out like the issues with D4 on the PSV a bit but for doing something where technically they are stating it is not possible to get the same game out, that 30% really does not mean anything.
Just because it is 2D sprites and 3D elements does not mean that it is not taxing on the system. If anything what it does is help give devs more breathing room, but do not see it as anything more than that honestly.
Overly crowded box art is a perfect picture to show what Disgaea is about lol. The US art not as eye catching really. That and the balance just feels off with the MC standing to the side like that and not front and center.

Last time I played Disgaea 4 on my PS3, it really seemed like the previous ones with better textures and much better sprites. HELL They got the first 2 to run on PSP right? just what happened?

Not only are the sprites much higher res, but there is a lot more mechanics going on under the hood.
The graphical bump isn't the issue, but rather the number crunching and calculations happening behind the scenes is what is causing the Vita version of D3 to come to a halt in some instances.
Putting things to perspective, Disgaea 4 on Vita has some slowdown here and there.
PS3 maxed out at 30 characters on screen and even under certain situations there was slowdown depending on what spells / skills went off when there were a lot of units on screen.
Disgaea 5 however can have 100 on-screen units simultaneously.
If the Vita (and PS3 if a lot of effects go off at once) had framerate issues with a limit of 30 units total, it's unrealistic to think the game will have the same performance with 100 units on screen.
Those expecting a Disgaea 5 re-release on Vita may be holding out. If the Vita starts to choke on the port of a PS3 game...there's no way it could handle the PS4 Disgaea 5 without major cuts to the gameplay or a tone down in some other way be it using lower res sprites.
Visually the game wouldn't push the PS3 or Vita by any stretch. It's mainly performance related things under the games hood that is holding the game back from being doable on the PS3 or Vita.

I like the Japanese cover more, but still don't mind the NA one. Can't wait to spend $75 on the regular edition of the game...

Loved the first one, might be time to jump back into this series. I need more shenanigans from he prinnies in my life
After getting married and having a child, time seems almost impossible to keep track of. Im sure it'll be October in the morning.
okay. Though I wonder how much gpu the game uses and possibly helping the calculations by offloading certain sets to the gpu side. That is if they are not doing that.
I still just find it a bit hard to believe that it is impossible to run on the vita.

$75?
I'm guessing you mean the $60 and whatever the Season Pass costs?
I believe the Season Pass is 4000 yen, which to USD roughly $33.
I hope NISA doesn't plan to try and jack the price up in the US and try to push this season pass for $50 instead of the $30 or so it SHOULD be.
I still remember that $50 DLC pack that Disgaea 3 had on PS3...which was required to obtain everything. As some of the content was only available in the $50 pack and not for individual sale.

They did give out codes for that if you had everything and contacted them, which was something. Definitely not ideal though.
